Each day of Advent, beginning on December 1, is marked with a special calendar. Yesterday we opened door number twenty-two. Last night I had tickets to see the luminaria display at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. That event was cancelled by rain. That's right. Rain. I was not filled with holiday joy when I found out, but tomorrow is Christmas Eve! And today, another door is ready to open.
